It's America's favorite cuntotin' Bible-clingin' deplorable American. That's us. That's right. I love this American ride. Todd Starnes.

Oh, yeah. All right. I've got to address this right out of the gate. Before we go any further, welcome, everybody. I'm Todd Starnes, and we're always happy to have you folks so you find folks with us across America.

So look, yesterday we had one of these throwaway stories. I just thought the story was interesting. And whenever I come across a weird or oddball story, I want to pass that along to you. And we told you about this story about this woman from Germany. And she's 23 years old, and she's a nutcase.

She's a nutjob. She's a wackadoodle. Cuckoo, cuckoo. Again, front porch lights on, but nobody's home. Anyway, she's in a relationship with a Boeing 737.

Yes, I said it, a Boeing 737. And she is sexually attracted to airplanes. And so we shared this story in the spirit of kicking off Pride Month. You know, Jesus gets, what, Easter and Christmas, but the gays, they've got to have the whole month to celebrate. No, there is no heterosexual.

No, you guys just, I don't know. If you're heterosexual, you just have to do your own thing. But anyway, the LGBT crowd, they get a whole month, and look, we don't begrudge them that, a whole month of celebrations. And I don't know. I guess they may get the whole month off.

The Muslims get Ramadan and whatever else they celebrate.

So I guess maybe they get the whole month off. What do I care? What do I know? What do I care? So anyway, I tell this story about this woman, and she is sexually attracted to a Boeing 737.

And Grace Baker, I am catching holy you-know-what on social media from the LGBT crowd.

So the people who are supposed to be tolerant and diverse are coming after yours truly, and they're accusing me of being homophobic because I'm pointing out this woman wants to have relations with a jetliner.

Sounds like a lot of hot air to me. It sounds to me like a lot of intolerance is what it sounds like. Which is ironic, right? It's quite the irony. And look, I don't care if she's dating a Boeing 737 or a puddle jumper.

It's not my business. But the point I made is that when you redefine, when mankind redefines what God had already defined, whether it be marriage, whether it be how you were born, male or female, when you decide to rainbow color outside of the lines, then you get a cultural free-for-all. And I laugh because, Grace, who are they? Who are they in the LGBT activist community to criticize this woman because of who she wants to date and who she wants to go to bed with? I mean, she's living her truth.

She is living her truth.

So who are they to judge out of all people? Who are they to judge this woman? Exactly. Again, it is, and they opened up, and it wasn't just opening up the Pandora's box. They put dynamite inside and kablooey.

There you go. We've got a cultural free-for-all right now. It's just confusion and chaos everywhere.

So these people are coming after me with a vengeance. And I, you know, the problem with the LGBT activist crowd, they're a filthy bunch. I mean, they're disgusting. The stuff that it's just, you know, it is what it is. But I will say one of our conservatives says, love is love.

You know, I mean, it is. They had a little Charlie Brown cartoon, and Lucy is using God's name in vain and saying, what a blank hole, referring to yours truly. um nice try stars it's your bigoted narrow-mindedness of posting this during pride month enjoy the month you homophobe but again i mean why can't you add i mean you've got the lgbt why can't you add plane or a for aeronautics to that list why why be so narrow-minded lgbt active what Is it Planes, Trains, and Automobiles? Isn't that a movie or something? Throw that in there, too.

Well, it used to be. It might be the special on HBO Max. I don't know. But again, I was just stunned. Out of all the stories we do, this one just sort of exploded.

And people are just very, very upset with me. It took off, if you will. I'm sorry. There's too many puns on this story. It's going to be never-ending.

Jill writes in Todd mental health services needed or maybe they need a new hobby that's a fair statement Steve writes in Todd marriage requires consent unless you're a minor Christian girl in the south what what does that mean Steve button inanimate objects cannot give consent so the two subjects are mutually exclusive. But who defines what consent is? I mean, look, I'm embracing this whole truth movement, Grace Baker. I think this is great. It doesn't matter what reality is.

It's what my truth is. Exactly. You're living your truth, Todd. It's minus 32 degrees and snowing outside right now in Memphis, Tennessee. Yeah, I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one.

Okay, it's like 98 plus 100% humanity. But still, in my mind, in my truth, it doesn't matter what the reality is. It matters what the truth, it matters what your truth is. Not the truth. Don't get it twisted now.

That brings me to the most bizarre story, Grace Baker. This just broke. It's more bizarre. Yes, because we've been talking about, again, this is Pride Month, gay news. The YMCA, the gay national anthem Did you ever hear that?

We call it the gay national anthem But YMCA gets people up and it gets them moving It's fun to stay at the YMCA And this breaking gay news Coming to you from the Pentagon The U.S. Marine Corps Facing mockery on social media After just moments ago And you can see this on our website They posted a photo of a rainbow-colored bullets on a combat helmet.

Now, Grace, I'm not quite sure what the whole point of this. Are we shooting people with gay bullets now? Is that supposed to be a thing? Just, you know, it's like Cupid shooting them with love, love arrows. The problem is you've got this camo helmet.

And what is the point of camo? It's supposed to conceal you. It's camouflage. That's right. You're not supposed to see you.

Yes, that's right. But then you've got this great camo helmet with these brightly colored rainbow bullets. Yeah, I don't think that's going to make you stand out, buddy.

So the Marine Corps is facing a massive mockery on social media today after they posted this photograph of the rainbow colored bullets. The Marine Corps says this is all about honoring the contributions of LGBTQ service members during Pride Month. They also say that the Marines are now, these are the new Marines, the Marines are now fostering an environment free from discrimination, and they treat everyone equally with dignity and respect. I remember when the Marine was the most fiercest and most feared person on the planet. I think that's kind of the point.

Because a Marine could go in and single-handedly take out the bad guys. I mean, that's the whole point of being a Marine, right? I remember the late, great Chesty Puller, who is the most decorated, or was the most, and is still the most decorated Marine in American history. Exactly. And you wonder, would Chesty Puller have a place in today's kinder, gentler Marine Corps, where they would much rather frolic about at drag queen shows and wear feather boas instead of going into battle and killing the enemy?

See, I'm genuinely terrified if we go to war because of these sorts of things. Is that right?

So why are you terrified of us going into war? I have no faith in us actually being prepared to fight anybody.

So you don't think our military in its current state would be able to defend America? I would say we have the technology, but not the skills or the manpower, no.

So if you've got a drone and you've got somebody sitting in front of the video, I mean, we've got the best video game players in the world. That's a little different.

So yeah, you could do the drones. I'm talking man-to-man combat here. Hand-to-hand combat. No. You're saying not a chance, and you know what.

I mean, you've got a battalion of lesbians or something. I think they could take out the enemy. Have they made those maternity suits yet? I know way back they were going to make some maternity suits. Oh, that's right.

For the Air Force pilots. Yes.

So if you're a pregnant woman and you're in the Air Force, and if you have to give birth in the middle of a bombing run, You can just drop bombs and then drop your baby. There you go. So the Marines, again, say this is all about diversity and inclusion. I remember something Governor Mike Huckabee said. And by the way, my comment about the lesbians is that is out of great respect because I bet they could take care of business.

But I'm not so sure about the rest of the military here. Governor Mike Huckabee once said the purpose of the United States military is to kill people and break things. That's it.

Now, look, we got a great big country here. And, yeah, there's a whole month-long celebration of the LGBT movement. And I get that. It seems to me that the one area that should be exempted from that, the one, look, and I get it, everything else is just consumed, all right? Even if you're going down to Taco Bell and you're going down and you're getting a burrito or a chalupa, there's going to be a gay theme at your Taco Bell.

And more power to you. But can we just leave the military out of this? Can we all agree, ladies and gentlemen, that the one thing that needs to be focused is the United States military and, by extension, the CIA and our spy agencies? Governor Mike Huckabee was on to something here. You know our enemies are laughing at us.

You know that. They see the same news reports that we see. They know that under the Biden administration that the Pentagon has become a social engineering petri dish. And not as one Republican lawmaker called it, a peach tree dish. No, it's a petri dish.

I want you to hear me. A woke military leads to a weak military. That's all there is to it. That's all there is to it. And I know we have a lot of military veterans.

We have a lot of people who have sons and daughters serving in our military right now. And you must be horrified at what has been happening here. But, folks, we are in the middle of a perfect storm, and we're going to get to this massive economic crisis we're facing. I mean, Jamie Dimon is telling us this could be a super storm, sandy economic crisis that is about to slam into our nation. When you throw that all in, with the social unrest, a weakened military, a distracted presidency, by the way, Biden's approval rating down to, what, 22%, 23% now, you have all the makings for global chaos.

And that is why the United States military has to be focused and has to be on mission. because right now our enemies, they're looking at us and they realize a very simple truth that this military, the United States military, could literally be felled and defeated by simply misgendering a soldier or failing to use their preferred pronoun. It would be that simple.

so again i folks i i'm i share grace's concerns i don't know if we could win a war do you do you still have confidence that our fighting men and women are are up for the fight if the fight comes to us i mean there was a survey done a couple of what is a couple of months ago that most Democrats would flee the country. If we were invaded, they would not stay and fight. They would flee the country. 844-747-8868. That is our toll-free telephone number.

All right, folks, welcome back to the Todd Stearns Radio Show.

So I want to go back to this NBC News report here, and it's a doozy. NBC News reporting that Joe Biden is in a meltdown over his presidency. a brand new polling data out, just 23% approve of Joe Biden's job. That's among independents. And a lot of people are saying, okay, what happens next?

Well, let me tell you what's happening. You've got all these Democrats working at the White House, working in this administration. They're jumping into the lifeboats.

Now, a lot of you are cheering this. This is great news, Usterns, Biden is imploding, and that means it's going to be a great day for Republicans in the midterm elections. Not necessarily. As a matter of fact, folks, I want you to consider this. And again, this new civics poll, Biden, 35% overall approval, 22% approval by independents.

Only 35% of the country. We're talking about a massive number of Democrats who now believe this guy is done. is just absolutely done. The NBC News report also mentions that Biden had test-polled this question, this phrase, ultra-MAGA.

So you know the Democrats have been using that phrase, ultra-MAGA. And they thought that that phrase might strike a chord with people, and it turned out not to. As a matter of fact, the Trump crowd actually embraced it, much like they embraced deplorables. when Hillary Clinton was running for the White House. But the concern I have here is that Joe Biden is unhinged.

And what I mean by, I don't mean crazy. We all know that he's, you know, it's, well, cheese done slid off that cracker. We get that. But the problem I have and the concern I have is that Biden will do anything, anything to boost those poll numbers. And what is the one thing that will immediately boost poll numbers for a sitting president?

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is some sort of an armed conflict. And that brings me to a story yesterday. Biden says that he's going to provide Ukraine with these rockets. It's a very dangerous situation.

So Ukraine's about to get advanced rocket systems on top of the billions and billions, the tens of billions of dollars in aid we're sitting over there. We're basically fighting a proxy war against the Russians. You better believe the first rocket from this U.S. system that strikes Russian soil, we're going to be in a shooting war with the Russians. And this is what Biden wants.

Biden is thirsting for a war. He's craving war somewhere. But there are so many other dumpster fires we've got to be worried about.

Now, the White House yesterday walked back the whole, well, we've got to, yeah, Biden's not going to ban the handguns. He's not going after your handguns. Do you believe that? Do you seriously believe that Biden is not going after the handguns? Look, Robert Francis or work, the fake Mexican Bobby Francis, just said yesterday that they need to confiscate every AR-15 in America.

In other words, if you've got an AR-15 and he's in charge, there's a knock on your door and they're going to make you turn over your weapons. All right. Got to take a break here. 844-747-8868. Toll free telephone number.

That's 844-747-8868. We'll be right back. If you are looking for MyPillow, you will not find it in the big box stores. And the reason why? It's pretty awful.

Grace Baker, Kyle. You know Grace? It's like, again, 90-something degrees outside. Yeah, you don't have to remind me. Kyle rode the bike.

He rode a bike in. I saw a flash by the window this morning, and I was like, oh, my gosh, who is this person? Is it like a delivery or something? Nope, it was Kyle on his bike. And I was like, you know, you got to bike back home this afternoon in the heat, right?

And he was like, well, of course. I bet he Ubers. I'm just saying. Wow. You don't have much faith in producer Kyle.

Because it's hot. Hotter than blue blazes out there. And it's only getting hotter. You know, like when he biked this morning, I was like, well, it's not too bad, but it's going to get bad. Fifty five percent of Americans.

This is according to Frank Luntz. Fifty five percent of Americans say they would stay and fight if the United States were invaded like Ukraine. Only fifty five percent. What do you think that was back when our grandparents were alive? I would say it was one hundred and ten percent.

What does that say about our country, that only 55% of Americans would stay and fight if we got invaded?

Now, among Republicans, 68% of Republicans say they would stay and fight. 25%, that's the Mitt Romney side, by the way, the 25% would flee the country. Among independents, 57% say they would stay. among Democrats, 52% of Democrats said they would go to Canada or Mexico. 52% of Democrats.

You know, it's just, this says a lot about who we are as a people and what they're teaching our kids in the public school, by the way. That's what this is all about. They're teaching our kids to hate America, that America is not worth fighting for. That's what that's all about. 844-747-8868 is our toll-free telephone number.

That's 844-747-8868. I was watching Fox News Channel last night. I was channel surfing. And they were talking about Top Gun Maverick, which is you can't find a ticket to this movie. I mean, people are going to the movie theaters in droves, and you have to know all these movie theater owners are loving it because they're making their money on the concessions.

and a lot of people getting the popcorn and the milk duds and the baptist martinis. And there's been a lot of debate over why this movie is so successful. And the thought, the idea is that here is a movie that once again takes us back to a time and a place where people love America, that you can celebrate the red, white, and blue, that you can be proud to be an American, that you can be proud of the unwoke Air Force. And as one of our listeners pointed out on the Facebook live stream, woke means you're a zombie, right? Being woke means you're a zombie.

It's a fair point. But Top Gun Maverick is not any of those things. As a matter of fact, it flies in the face literally of everything that Hollywood's telling us about America, that there's a problem with the United States of America, that there's a problem with the United States military. There's a problem with white men. There's a problem with men in general, white and black, who are filled with raging toxic masculinity.

And all of those things are included in this movie. I mean, that's the DNA of this movie. Everything that drives the left bonkers is in this movie. And people are flacking to it. They love it.

It's a beautiful thing. And I'm curious if you've been to see the movie. Did you come away feeling good about America? Did you come away feeling good about the military? Yeah, I know it's Tom Cruise, but he did a good job in the movie.

I like Tom Cruise. He's all right. As long as he's not, you know, jumping on the couches with Oprah. 844-747-8868. That's our toll-free telephone number.

844-747-8868. We've got a report on Gallup talking about the worst numbers in over a decade. Cut number two, please. But these are the worst numbers in more than 10 years? Yeah, that's the worst number in over a decade, according to Gallup.

And it's not just about how they feel about the economy right now. It's how they feel about it going forward. Do you think the economy is getting better or worse? And look here, only 20% say better, 77% say worse. That's the worst spread, again, in over a decade.

And, you know, it's not just about views of the economy overall, it's views about how you're changing your own habits, right? How is inflation impacting Americans? Change grocery purchases, 63%, cut back on extras, 63%, cut back on driving, 54%.

So they're seeing it bad nationally, and they're feeling in their pockets as well. how about you bloomberg has a report out and according to bloomberg individuals making a quarter million dollars a year are now living paycheck to paycheck now some of you might be saying well wait a second quarter of a million dollars man i'd be living high on the hog yeah that's true if you're not living in a place like new york city or san francisco or chicago So I believe those numbers. But by and large, Americans, not only are they living paycheck to paycheck, but a lot of you folks are not even able to do that anymore because the economy is so far in the toilet. And it's getting worse. Jamie Dimon warning of what could be an economic superstorm.

That's how significant this issue is. Gas prices now, as of this morning, now at an all-time high in every single state in America. And they're over $7 a gallon in some places in California. And it could be $10 a gallon by the middle of the summer. And I'm curious to know what gas prices are looking like.

Baby formula, the shortages continue. It's unbelievable. Even places like Kroger are now limiting moms as far as how much formula they can purchase. 844-747-8868. I want to go to Statesville, North Carolina.

Jesse, listening to us on WSIC, wants to weigh in on that survey. All right, Jesse, what's up? Hey, well, I didn't realize it was in a survey. I just wanted to do our first colonial war that we did, the Continental War, I just wonder how many would have fought for our freedom then had they had known that we were going to be put into a constitutional republic instead of a full democracy where the people vote on everything instead of representatives.

Well, Jesse, let me jump in here. That's a great question, and thank you for the call. Look, I mean, that's a fair question. If our founding fathers knew what we would turn into, do you really think that they would have said, okay, we're just going to let the British handle this? I mean, if I'm George Washington, and by the way, I mean, just yesterday we got a story that Washington and Lee University, they've already removed portraits of George Washington and Robert E.

Lee, the namesakes of the university. those portraits have been removed from the chapel and they're putting up a wall they're building up a wall so people will not be able to see robert E Lee entombed remains It a fair point I mean you know would we have been better off under the rule of the British now that the country's gone full-blown woke? You've got Washington University wanting to take down George Washington's statue, and the list goes on and on and on. All right, we got to take a break here 844-747-8868 have you heard the big news Greta Van Susteren now at Newsmax hosting a brand new show The Record with Greta Van Susteren starting June 14th Greta reports on the big stories from Washington giving you the facts you need to know Greta is asking the tough questions she's always fair journalism the way it ought to be folks I made the switch to Newsmax like millions of others and I want to encourage you to do the same all you need to do to get more information.

Plus, the Z Flip 4 is compact and fits perfectly in my pocket. Oh, wow. Click the banner to get your Galaxy Z Flip 4. This just in. NASCAR says they're celebrating Pride Month.

So NASCAR posting this on their Twitter feed. And, oh, it's got the little rainbow. It's got all the colors of the rainbow flag. They've got the trans and the two-spirit flag.

So NASCAR's really, they've embraced this whole thing. NASCAR says that we remain steadfast in our commitment to create a more inclusive environment. That's kind of the, I guess that's sort of the talking points here. A more inclusive environment in our workplaces, at the racetrack, and in the stands.

So who knew that there are a lot of asexual, two-spirit, gender-fluid NASCAR fans? But apparently there is a very large demographic of the NASCAR audience that embraces those particular proclivities, if you will. Todd, we were talking about a woman attracted to a plane. This is NASCAR, and it's cars.

So what about those people? I guess. I stumped you.

Well, I mean, you know. I'm just saying. What about those people? No, I'm thinking of something involving tailpipes. Don't go there.

I want to go there. No, please don't. It's too early. People are eating their lunch. It's too early in the month-long celebration, and we've got to pay for it.

We've got to pace ourselves. I do want to share this story with you from the conversation. Since 1972, this is written by Tristan Bridges from the University of California, Santa Barbara. Since 1972, social scientists have studied the General Social Survey to chart the complexities of social change in America.

So where are we getting at with this?

Well, according to the survey, 23% of young black women now identify as bisexual. This is a fascinating story. But since 2008, so again, now it's 23%. In 2008, guess what the numbers were? Guess what the numbers were?

Less than 2%.

So what has happened? what has happened over the past several years where a massive number of black women have suddenly decided you know i'm uh yeah i can go either way on that i can i can butter my my bread on both sides how do you get to that point what is that telling you bisexual identifying women account for virtually all of the growth among those who say they're lesbian gay or bisexual So not the gays. As a matter of fact, according to their chart, fewer men today say they are gay than back in 2016. According to this, of all the women who responded to the survey, and the survey was conducted back in 2018, more than one in 18 identified as bisexual. A decade ago, only one in 65 did.

Now, what does that tell you?

Now, I know that we have to suspend reality. We have to suspend facts. That's what society tells us. But let's just, for the sake of the conversation, let's not suspend reality. Let's not suspend facts.

Is it possible, is it possible that there has not been a 23% jump in the number of young black women who now identify as bisexual? Is it possible that perhaps we're dealing with a societal or a psychological confusion here? A psychological confusion that was birthed and nurtured in our nation's public school system?

Now, you think about this. Just think about it. And I suspect this is only going – the number next year and the year after, I would not be surprised if that number doubles. As a matter of fact, I would not be surprised if we become a society where only 1% of the population is heterosexual. And I want to explain why.

What happens when you're – because now they're starting in preschool, all right? Preschool. And we had the lady on yesterday. They're teaching kids that men can become pregnant in North Carolina. All right?

That's happening in your public schools. By the way, that teacher got fired after our show. But going back to what's happening in our public schools, let's just say that you're a preschooler. You're four years old. You're in preschool.

And the little preschool teacher says, all right, boys and girls, today we're going to learn how to go to the bathroom, and we're going to learn how to read the ABCs, and we're going to teach you that one plus one equals eight. Because, again, math is racist.

So it's really whatever. One plus one is really whatever you want it to be, kids. It really is. And yet there's really no reason for you to learn the alphabet because, you know, words are racist. The white man came up with words.

No, not all words, but we're just going to make all words racist because, you know, they're evil. I mean, that's what they're teaching the kids. But just think about this. Then you're teaching a child, little Billy, the doctor who gave birth to you just four years ago made a mistake. He just said you were a little boy.

But what if you are a little girl? Don't you like these bright, shiny colors, little Billy? Oh, I love the colors, teacher. I love the colors. They're so bright and flashy.

And wouldn't you like to wear these beautiful colors in a dress? Oh, yes, please, teacher. I want to please you. And so then little Billy comes home, and he's wearing a dress, and he's going by, I don't know, Beatrice. I don't know.

I don't know how it all works out. But imagine just every single day you're going to that public school. What, eight hours a day? Is that how long the kids spend at public school? Eight hours a day.

And they're pounding this into your brains in math class and science class and English class and phys ed. Is it possible that you are actually hurting that child psychologically? Is it possible? is it possible and i'm not saying there's no such thing as l l or b or g the t is just off the charts i mean we all knew i mean psychologists made that determination a long time ago that was an illness until recently when we decided it was not but why why force that on a child and that and that's what i'm getting at here why force that on a child why not let the child develop naturally. And again, I probably stand apart from a lot of conservatives and maybe evangelicals on some of these issues, because this is America.

I'm a constitutionalist. And if you want to live your life a certain way, you have that right, and you should have that right, and I will defend that right on this radio program. That's your right. Just like I don't want you coming in and telling me how to live my life, or Grace doesn't want you coming in telling her how to live her life. We all have rights under the Constitution, but what we do not have a right to do is to expose children to ideas and concepts they're not old enough or advanced enough to handle.

So what does this country look like 12 years from now, right? You've got a child starting in first grade. And for the next 12 years, they're going to be pounded into their brain that you cannot be a male or female. You can't be straight. You have to be something else.

And if you're not something else, you're not part of the cool club. What does that look like? I mean, we've all seen the libs of TikTok page, right? I mean, we know what's happening on our public school campuses. You can turn a blind eye to it if you want to.

But here we have the proof. And so you have to, unless there's been some sort of an uncanny evolutionary process where in the span of a decade, 23% of young black women have suddenly decided, boom, we're bisexual. I don't think that's what happened here. I just think there's a lot of confusion in the classroom, a lot of confusion in the culture. And I'm not sure that's anything to be proud about.

All right, folks, got to take a break here. 844-747-8868 toll free telephone number that's 844-747-8868 this is the Todd Stern Show Live from the Liberty University studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's conservative blowtorch. This American ride. Todd Starks. Oh, yeah.

And hello, everybody. Welcome to Hour 2 of the Big Show. Great to have you with us today, border to border, coast to coast, across the Fruited Plain. Coming up a little bit later, Congressman Jim Jordan's going to drop by. He has some things to say about this Michael Sussman verdict.

Clearly, no justice for President Trump just yet. we're going to be talking with him a little bit later on this hour of the program. I want to go, though, to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Our good friend from the great state of Texas, Congressman Pat Fallon, joins us. Congressman, hope you're doing well today.

As I said it before, I'll say it again. Todd Starnes, Great America.

Well, you're kind to say that, Congressman. Real quick, I want you to weigh in on this report. Joe Biden, he keeps repeating this claim that Americans could not own cannons during Revolutionary War times. Of all people, the Washington Post gave that four Pinocchios, but the guy keeps repeating this stuff over and over again, Congressman, and here's my deal on that. One time, it's a mistake.

Two times a gap. You do it three or more. That is intentional disinformation that the president's spreading, not just about cannons, but this idea that the Second Amendment is not absolute. What say you?

Well, I don't think Joe Biden remembers what he had for breakfast today or even if he had breakfast.

So, you know, it's one of those things where he might have to give enough great thought to say that he's just not, you know, mentally capable of knowing the truth from, you know, from fiction, quite frankly. But that's the media's, or the media and the Democrats, that's kind of their go-to. I remember they would, Obama would do that too he would report uh he said like when there was a report that came out that 20 percent of women are sexually assaulted on campuses college campuses that was not a lie if you read the study not at all and we can get into that another day but it was a bold-faced lie and he kept repeating it over and over again and then you know they're they're they're followers that blindly uh you know he's the pied piper whatever obama says whatever biden says must be accurate That's not the case. Congressman, looking much closer to home, the aftermath of the shooting there in Texas at Robb Elementary School, we understand the police chief no longer cooperating with the investigators, and he was sworn into office as a city councilman behind closed doors in private. What concerns do you have about the investigation down there?

Well, you know, that's incredibly unfortunate that he won't be cooperating. And we have to do a few things here, Todd. I mean, we see the liberals screaming from the rooftops and mountaintops about how we need to do something. We need to do something. No, we need to do something effective.

You want to know what's most effective to keep our kids the safest? It's a multi-tiered approach. Number one, single entry doors, multi-tiered, where you go and you get buzzed into the office, and then you have to get buzzed into the school once they clear, you know, and they understand who you are and you're supposed to be in there. classroom doors should shut like just like hotel doors do you can't leave them open they shut automatically and they lock school marshals in texas we have a school marshal program i supported it when i was in the state house and senate but only six percent of the school districts participated in this we should take make it mandatory if some if a teacher wants to do what they can to get the training and they just notify the school district that they're a marshal we had a safer system in when i was on a city council 13 years ago where all the schools were wired and the city and the school district worked together so you would know where any threat is any classroom, any hallway, every stitch of the campus was covered. And then the police need to change their doctrine to advance and eliminate the threat and not, you know, surround and sit in for a siege.

We need to change these things. And these items, these measures will make our kids safer. Congressman, what do you think has happened in this country? I'm 54 years old. We never had school resource officers.

We never had to have armed school teachers. We had a principal who patrolled the hallways with a fiberglass paddle with holes drilled into it. And everybody towed the line.

So what do you think has happened since the 1970s? You know what, Kyle, that's a great question, because that's really at the root of what's going on here. When you have an erosion of the family, when you have an erosion of faith, and really social interaction. I don't call it social media. I call it anti-social media, because people are just buried, particularly young kids, They're buried in their phones.

They're not getting out there and meeting people and adjusting. And we're social creatures. We need other people. We're on this planet to live for others and to honor God. And that's not taught anymore.

And the left thinks that they can legislate away evil. You know, that's a fool's errand. We need to look at the root causes. And that's one of them, because these monsters that are committing these shootings, they're never well-adjusted folks. They're not folks that have a future or being successful in life and loving on folks.

They're loners. And that's what we really need to have a discussion about. Not to mention the breakdown of the American family. I mean, you've got to have a mom, got to have a dad in the classroom. And until Congress wants to have that kind of a conversation, I think you guys are going to be considering, what, eight bills to ban guns or to get gun control.

I don't think that's going to do a lick of good.

Well, Todd, you know what? I'm going to file legislation to make murder illegal. How about that? Oh, that's right. It is already.

And people murder folks. Oh, my goodness. We couldn't legislate away. I'm just so tired of that.

So they're not going to address the root causes. They're just going to cater to their, you know, their base and say they did something so they can feel good about themselves at a cocktail party. It doesn't do any good. I want to make our children safer and make investments in that regard. And then, as I said before, we need to have a really open discussion on, as you said, the erosion of the family, the erosion of religion and faith in this country, and social interaction.

Speaking of safety, Congressman, in the first hour of the show, we were talking about the Marine Corps going woke. They just posted on Twitter this morning a gay pride salute that includes a combat helmet and on the combat helmet are rainbow-colored bullets for Pride Month. I mean, do you have concerns about military readiness and what the military is actually focused on these days? I find that revolting. And I'm on the Armed Services Committee, and Todd, that's the first I've heard of this.

I don't want my military to be political in any regard. I want them to be lethal and efficient and have unit cohesion, and I want the latest weaponry in the hands of our best soldiers and sailors and airmen and Marines. And that's it. And Biden started with Obama. They started to politicize the military because it was kind of probably they saw it as the last bastion of, you know, being dominated by conservatism or something along those lines.

Remember when talk radio did really well? You know, still does. They wanted to eliminate talk radio. They wanted to make sure that there was equal time and all this other garbage. They need to dominate the message constantly.

And things are going to change come November when we have not the red wave but the red tsunami. And the Republicans, or I should say the adults in the room, are in the majority. And we're going to eliminate this stuff. We're going to send a clear message to the military that you can end the wokeness. How about you just protect your nation?

That's it.

And, by the way, folks, we've got the footage and the photograph from the Marine Corps up on our website, toddstearns.com. And, Congressman, I mean, look, you can celebrate Gay Pride Month. That's great. It's America. You can live your life how you want to live your life.

But that cannot be the focus of the military, period. No, Todd, this is what the military serves.

So you can have the liberty to do what you want, provided you don't harm any worlds or break any laws.

So that's the ironic part of it. But don't force feed it down our damn throats. And that's not on the taxpayer dime. And I told some of the ranking generals, I said, I don't want you to be a Democratic general, and I don't want you to be a Republican general. Dammit, I want you to be an American general.

And you know what? Have some honor and stop toeing the line for your Democratic masters and resign that, because you know what they're doing is wrong.

Well said. Congressman, we've got to leave it there. Congressman Pat Fallon, always appreciate your great insight and candor, sir. yeah yeah we go beyond honesty and we go to frankness that's it all right that's it congressman pat fallon down in texas by the way we didn't get to this 4 000 illegal aliens 4 000 illegal aliens crossed the border over the memorial day weekend just in the rio grande valley sector that's it that one sector 4 000 people and you have to wonder what else was crossing the border at other checkpoints unbelievable all right we got to take a break here folks 844-747-8868 toll-free telephone number that's 844-747-8868 go to our website we've got the photo from the Marine Corps up toddstarns.com and check it out and give us a call do you think we're overreacting on this one we'll be right back we all know someone who's all work and no chill trust me That used to be me.

According to the Daily Mail, Hunter Biden's search history on that laptop, this goes back to March 19th, reveals his obsession with porn and a penchant for filming himself having sex with prostitutes.

The Daily Mail reporting that Hunter Biden's search history reveals an obsession with porn, including incest fantasies involving 18-year-olds, lonely widow porn, and MILF crack cocaine porn. The search history also includes instructions on how to hack a lover's cell phone, along with repeated Google searches of himself.

Now, according to the Daily Mail, the searches cover just six days in March of 2019 before he broke his laptop and took it to the repair shop there in Delaware. And that's where Hunter Biden literally abandoned the website. But they say there are dozens of videos on the laptop that reveal Hunter's penchant, if you will, for filming himself having sex with prostitutes and then posting home movies on his own Pornhub account under the username RH East. the president's son the daily mail reports took care not to show his face in the uploaded videos this is disgusting this is absolutely disgusting but this is what's been going on in the biden crime syndicate it's sickening absolutely sickening what hunter biden has been up to Of the 281 websites captured in his browsing history over six days, 98 were pornographic. Other text messages show he and Joe Biden used each other's phone numbers at various times, so it's unclear whether the president was using a phone number.

Hunter texted a link to a Pornhub page to a number that he saved in his contact book as dad.

So now the question is, the allegation here in the Daily Mail is that Hunter Biden was sending his dad links to his Pornhub page. biden was 49 years old at the time and he also searched for porn videos involving teenagers according to his browsing history had the trump had the trump kids done anything like this they would have been crucified this would be wall-to-wall news coverage all over america but the mainstream media they are bought and paid for by the brian by the biden crime syndicate and There's no way, no way that they would ever report this kind of damning information. 844-747-8868. That's our toll-free telephone number. That's 844-747-8868.

This news coming from ABC. The White House has now reached an agreement with United Airlines to transport baby formula free of charge from Heathrow Airport to multiple airports across the United States over a three-week period. This is called Operation Formula Flight.

So here we are, the United States of America, the greatest fighting force on the planet, the United States of America, the most exceptional nation in America, and we're having to rely on foreign countries, foreign countries for foreign aid. Under Joe Biden, the United States has to have its handout like a beggar asking people to lend us a helping hand. Does this make you proud, America? Is this what all of you never Trumpers out there, all of you Democrats, is this what you signed up for? Is this what you went and voted for on election day?

I mean, it's pretty pathetic what's happening right now in this country. It's pathetic what Joe Biden has done to this great nation, where we have to crawl on our knees, our hands out, like we're Oliver Twist in a Dickens novel. Please, sir, may I have some more? This is who we are as a country right now. And I don't know about you, but I'm sick of it.

Meanwhile, what is Joe Biden doing? cut number eight thank you mr secretary for giving my speech and i'm gonna sit down probably wish i would it's kind of a little warm in here what in the world it what what is that guy doing what is he doing but again with joe biden he's completely clueless completely biden says you know what we need in the coast guard around you know what biden says when you Not the best Coast Guardsmen. No, that's not what we need. We don't need the most capable, able-bodied people. This is who Joe Biden says we need in the Coast Guard right now.

We need to see more women at the highest levels of command in the Coast Guard and across every service in the armed forces. We need to ensure women have an opportunity to succeed and thrive throughout their professional careers. And that means providing support and resources so women can compete fairly and fully for promotions and make sure women are not penalized in their career for having children. Has that ever happened? And look, let's go back 20 years.

Has that been a problem? I don't think it's been a problem.

So it's this perpetual state of victimhood. That's where we are with the Democrats right now. That's why the Democrats believe that modern times are, we are, that blacks in America, minorities in America are worse off today than they were back during the Civil War times. I mean, that's what the Democrats want you to believe, that you are actually worse off today than you were back in the 1960s. I know we have a lot of minority listers, and I'm curious to hear from our minority listers today.

Are you better off in today's America, or are things worse than they were during the Civil Rights era? 844-747-8868. Look, we'll invite white Americans to weigh in on that. 844-747-8868. That our toll telephone number Hey you need to head over to the website toddstarns Check out our podcast our free newsletter some great resources for you We be right back everybody Ever since I got the new Galaxy Z Flip 4, I've been learning all these new tricks with my dog, Finn.

According to Congressman Jim Jordan, gas, regular unleaded in Ohio, dropped 15 cents in 24 hours. $4.79 a gallon up there. Jeez-a-loo. Let's go to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker Line. Honored to have with us Congressman Jim Jordan.

Man, you guys are, I guess we're all suffering, Congressman. I didn't.

Well, no. Go ahead. Go ahead, Congressman. when I was just saying, looks like we're all suffering here. Yeah, these guys, tell me one thing they've done right, and it sort of underscores something that I think the American people have figured out, we've all sort of figured out, is what they're doing to the country is intentional.

We know it's intentional what they're doing to the border. We no longer have a border. We know it's intentional what they've done to energy policy. In fact, Biden as much as said it last week when he said, we're going to have to get through this difficult time. Like, no, we don't have to go through this.

if you would just open up ANWR, the pipeline, and allow more leases on federal lands. But they just can't do the right thing because the hard left controls their party. And even if Joe Biden wanted to do something that would help Americans and American families, the hard left won't let him. What do you mean by intentional, though, Congressman? I mean, what do you think the end game here is for all of this?

Well, I think you go back to when the left tells us they want to fundamentally change America, we should take them at their word. And I think today's left, which controls the Democrat Party, I think deep down they don't like America. They don't feel about this country the same way you and I and your listeners do. We know America is not perfect, but it's the greatest nation ever done more good for more people around the planet than any country in history. But the left thinks, oh, no, no, our constitutional system, the rule of law, due process, freedoms like the First Amendment, Second Amendment, they don't like that stuff.

And they want to control everything from D.C., the so-called elites who think they're better than us folks who live in flyover country. It is that kind of attitude. And you're seeing that reflected in the stupid policies they're doing, which they do intentionally because they think they're so much smarter and better than the rest of them.

Meanwhile, we're on bended knee asking for a handout from Great Britain. I guess they're going to be sending us baby formula. American moms are suffering. It's embarrassing, Congressman. It's just embarrassing.

It is, and it's all a reflection of leadership. You know, we say this all the time, but we say it because it's true. We didn't have these concerns when President Trump was the leader of our country. You know, you look at Joe Biden when it comes to foreign policy. It's been a mess.

Domestic policy, it's intentional, and it's been disastrous. And then, of course, you have the attacks on our fundamental liberties, on the First Amendment rights that we enjoy under the Constitution. You see it now coming after these terrible events. in Buffalo and Texas, you see it coming with the attack on our Second Amendment.

So, yeah, these folks are – this is why you can't work with them. You have to stop them. And the only way to stop them is to point out the facts and the truth, and Americans show up on Election Day and they make a change in their government. On the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker Line, Congressman Jim Jordan, Congressman, an incredibly disappointing verdict coming out yesterday. Hillary Clinton's former campaign lawyer, Sussman, Michael Sussman, found not guilty.

How do you find this guy not guilty? I don't get that. How do you acquit this guy? Yeah, I didn't get it either. You know, he lied.

I think the lie was, in fact, material. You just never know how a jury, and particularly in D.C., is going to rule and going to decide. I do think, though, we learned some amazing information. Just, you know, the idea that Secretary Clinton told Dussman to take false information, information she knew was false to the press, and then that same information was taken to the FBI. I mean, that is unbelievable because I said this yesterday.

Think about it. She's former first lady, former secretary of state, former United States senator from New York, candidate for president of the Democrat Party. And she is actively saying, take false information, information we made up, take that information to hurt our political opponent. And that information got taken by Zussman, her lawyer, to the FBI.

So that is unbelievable. And, you know, that is the scary thing.

So we'll see what happens here next with Durham's investigation. But you're right, it was disappointing. And, of course, you know, to your point, Washington, D.C., that's where the jury pool is. We're talking about Democrats outnumbering Republicans 14 to 1. And there was literally one of the jurors, and by the way, folks, they're all anonymous, so we don't know who these people are.

One of them actually said, according to The Washington Times, there are bigger things that affect the nation than a possible lie to the FBI. I suspect that would be a very different outcome if that were you or me up on trial. Or if it was, you know, Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, all the things they did to those individuals. I mean, you know, that's not how our great country works. You're supposed to look at the – and, you know, again, we don't know what all was presented in the trial, so, you know, we'll say that.

but it sure seems like you had the emails.

Well, one of those we learned in the course of this trial with the emails that became public, we learned that Zussman had a special badge to access to the FBI.

Now, why is that? Why does he get, like, you remember Daniel Richman, the guy that Comey, when he leaked his memos, he leaked them through Richmond. Richman had this lawyer, that friend of Comey's, he had the same special access to the FBI that Zussman did. What is that all about? We need to find out how many people get the special badge that gives them access to the top people at the FBI.

I'd like to know that, particularly when one of them happens to be Hillary Clinton's campaign lawyer. It's a great question. It's just unbelievable. The FBI behaving almost as if they're state police or they're an offshoot of the Clinton campaign. This is the deep state rot that President Trump was dealing with, and it's an ugly thing.

Yeah, no, it sure is. And, you know, again, I think the vast majority of the agents are great, great people. It's just these folks at the top, the Comey, McCabe, Page, Strzok, Baker, these folks at the top, when the cozy relationship they had with the Clinton campaign people makes you wonder, you know, what was going on. Let's hope Durham can continue to get to the bottom of this and we can find out everything that took place there. And again, this is the same FBI that did, in fact, launch investigations against moms and dads who were asking tough questions of their local school boards, Congressman.

Yep, yep, it sure is. And God bless the, like I said, the good agents that there are so many of them, the agents who came forward as whistleblowers and told us what was going on. And more than two dozen cases where we know that the apparatus that the Biden administration, that the Justice Department put in place was used to report snitch on parents. And some of the examples we gave in our letter that we sent to the FBI, you know, the one mom was in Moms for Liberty and owned a gun.

Well, you're allowed to do that under the First and Second Amendment in this great country, but that's what got her on the snitch line and got the FBI to come out and investigate her simply because she was going to a school board meeting standing up for the, you know, the best interest of her son or daughter. Crazy. All right, Congressman, we've got to leave it there. Good stuff as always. Appreciate you, sir.

You bet. Thanks, brother. Take care. All right, Congressman Jim Jordan out of Ohio, everybody. By the way, Tucker Carlson last night was raising this issue of how a law firm, the legal arm of the DNC, and Hillary Clinton were operating an FBI workspace in their offices, and they've been doing so since 2012.

So much going on, you may have missed this. A jury today comprised of several Hillary Clinton donors acquitted a lawyer called Michael Sussman of lying to the FBI.

Now, who's Michael Sussman? Sussman is a former partner at the law firm Perkins Coy, the biggest Democratic firm, the firm that represented Hillary Clinton's campaign. And in that capacity at Perkins Coy, Sussman laundered false information about the Trump campaign to the FBI.

So pretty tight relationship between Sussman and the FBI. We're learning tonight much more about the connection between the FBI and Sussman's former law firm, Perkins Coy. Congressman Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan have just received a letter from Perkins Coy's attorneys. This show can report exclusively that in that letter, Perkins Coy admits the FBI has maintained a, quote, secure work environment within Perkins Coy offices for more than a decade, going back to 2012. What?

According to the letter, quote, Perkins Coy is responsible to the FBI for maintaining the secure work environment. That workspace, whatever it is, is still in operation today.

Now, why do you think the FBI has office space with the DNC and Hillary Clinton? It's very clear, based on this exclusive reporting from Tucker Carlson, and as you just heard Congressman Jim Jordan say, it's very clear that they are in cahoots here. We're not dealing with fair arbiters in the FBI anymore. And I know the congressman says, you know what, not all FBI agents. No, that's true.

But there are enough corrupt FBI agents. And I think we're safe to say that leadership as a whole is corrupt, that what they need to do is bulldoze the building down and start over. All right, we've got to take a break. We've got Connor in Boston, Jerry in Georgia. A couple of lines open, 844-747-8868.

That's our toll-free telephone number, 844-747-8868. We'll be right back. Ever since I got the new Galaxy Z Flip 4, I've been learning all these new tricks with my dog Finn. Like how to take the best selfies at the park. I just set my phone down, put it in flex mode, and capture hands-free pics from multiple angles.

All right, let's get to the phones here. 844-747-8868. Let's go to North Carolina. Chris listening to us on WSIC. Chris, what's on your mind?

Hey, Todd. Thanks for taking my call. I'm just curious. You had Jordan on just now, and you did not ask him about Kevin McCarthy. And I just, you know, I know you mentioned several people would not come on.

If they would, they wouldn't let you talk about it. And I'm just curious why you didn't ask him about Kevin McCarthy.

Well, that really wasn't the point of the interview, this go-around. and Congressman Jordan's a regular on the show. But, I mean, I do know that a lot of – I'm trying to recall the story. There was an issue with – oh, it was McCarthy and the letters and the phone calls with Trump.

Well, there's been a lot of stuff, and I believe you yourself said you didn't believe he should be in a leadership role. No, I don't. Yeah, I don't believe. As a matter of fact, I think Jim Jordan, and Jim Jordan, and we've talked about that with Jim Jordan before, and I don't like to belabor points. Jordan has made it clear he has no interest in the job of Speaker of the House.

I'm disappointed in that. I think he'd make a great speaker. Yes, sir. My problem is that even if we do win, if we've got the people like McCarthy that are doing the things and Mitch McConnell behind our backs, and we're just going to let it go on, we're not going to accomplish anything here. I mean, it seems to me that the Republican Party is changing in front of our eyes, and we were told they stole the election from us, and everybody knows that it was stolen.

Is this crap about maybe, but not everybody knows. But even the Republicans have told us, keep your mouth shut. You can't win that way. When now we see McCarthy, the leader of the Republican Party, is in cahoots with Cheney, what are we supposed to do? What are we as American people, conservative people, supposed to do if we don't have anybody to vote for?

So if Jim Jordan can turn his back and let McCarthy do the things he's doing and not say anything about it, because if he does, he'll lose his thing. What do the American people, what can we do? You see, I don't think Jordan is doing that. I think Jordan is being pretty strategic here. But the reality is, if it's not going to be Jordan, and that's who I think it's going to be, who would you like to see as Speaker of the House?

If it's not going to be McCarthy, Jordan says he doesn't want the job. Who do you think would be able to lead the conservatives on Capitol Hill? Oh, it should be Trump, but we know that's not going to happen. We know that's not going to happen. This whole thing is over Trump.

If Trump went to one-day election, we wouldn't be in the shape of it. And I love Trump, and I'll vote for him, and I'll vote for him again. But I'm just simply saying, not just the Democrats win against Trump, the Republicans did. We had the Republicans, we had the presidency, we had Congress, we had it all. And they did not do one thing.

Nope, didn't do diddly squat, no doubt about it, Chris. And here we are watching our country dissolve in front of us, and nobody's doing anything. Yes, we are. And you're right. And there's nothing they can do at this point.

They don't have the power. They don't have the numbers.

So, look, we've got to give the Republicans control again. We've got to do it. And we can only hope and pray that they don't screw us again. And if you asked if I would put a wager on that, yeah, I'm not going to do that because I know how these people are. the part, sir.

That's the part. And I appreciate you, and I appreciate listening to you, and you're very good, and you are the closest to Trump, I mean, to Rush, no doubt. But, you know, even Rush there right before he died got on the radio and said, oh, we can't talk about the election.

So we know what's going on with American people. We know. We're not stupid. No, I get it. But, Chris, there comes a point where we have to focus, and I get it, the states have to address voter fraud.

And we've got to get to a point where we cannot campaign on that. We cannot have people running for office campaigning on we lost the election. That's not going to inspire people to get out and vote. That being said, people are really fired up about it because nobody's actually addressed the issue. And that's a problem.

But that cannot be the campaign messaging. And if it is, I think that's a losing proposition. Regardless, the Republicans, I believe, are going to retake Congress in the fall. The question at this point is how much. Chris got a run.

Appreciate that. Let's go to Boston. Connor on the line. Hey, Connor, what's going on? Hey, Todd.

Well, first of all, I've got to take it a point further from what Chris said. I mean, this is the greatest radio talk show on the planet, in my opinion.

Well, thank you. I'm going to tell you, Rick. I mean, you know, it's just the obvious. I'm seeing the obvious here. But I'm going to tell you something right now.

When we are having this baby shortage formula, part of it is that we probably don't have people who are willing to go out there and work in these factories to produce this formula in America domestically. You know, we have so many people in my generation, in my age bracket, right? And, you know, I hate to say this. I'm painting with a broad brush here. But we have lazy people who literally are just collecting from the government from what they can.

And they don't want to work.

So we have to rely on our foreign powers to produce this baby formula for us because we don't have workers. We have shuttered factories across America. We have all these other resources to produce it. But we don't have the workforce in order to produce it because they're just collecting from the government. I think we should get to a point where if we have able-bodied, you know, working people who are able to work, it's like if they are just, you know, basically frauding the taxpayers, it's like we're going to look into it and they're either going to go into the workforce to pay back this money they took or they're going to join the military so we can stock up the military that way.

But we need to do something about this labor shortage in America because we just have people who are staying home, playing the Xbox, going online, when they could be out there working and producing for their fellow citizens. It's just ridiculous. Have you noticed, Connor, we've got about 30 seconds here, but have you noticed in your age bracket, you're a young person, have you noticed a lot of people your age not wanting to go out and work? yes i had surgery in march i was lit up for a while so i was playing like i was on like xbox live and i can't even tell you how many people who i know who are good people but they're just at home on like a monday morning they're just playing playing online you know they're just not doing anything and when i've asked them i'm like hey like what's going on with you they're like oh well you know why would i want to go to work when i can just collect i said because you should have the pride of wanting to do it i mean it's like if everybody's just staying at home it's like we're Our country is just going to take a dive into the ground, and it's going to go to hell in a handbasket. Unbelievable.

I'm with you, Connor. I think we've got a laziness problem in the country. And I think the worst thing that happened, those stimulus checks, they should never have given the money because once you start giving people those checks, it's just a government handout, taxpayer-funded government handout. All right, Connor, good call. Good to hear from you.

Hang tight, folks. Got some lines open here, 844-747-8868. If you're on hold, don't go anywhere. We're going to get to you. 844-747-8868.

This is the Todd Starnes Radio Show. We all know someone who's all work and no chill. Trust me, that used to be me. But then I found Galaxy Z Fold 4, which allows me to do more things at once. Ah, much better.

Now I can take video calls from my phone and use it to take notes at the same time. Wait, are you at the spa? Or check my shopping list while ordering more scented candles and face masks on the foldable expansive screen. Don't take your to-do list one line at a time. Multitask so you can relax.

Click the banner to get your Galaxy Z Fold 4. Live from the Liberty University studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's common sense conservative commentary from Todd Starnes. That's us, that's right. I love this American ride. All right, welcome to the Todd Starnes radio show.

Job bang, if you're looking for work. You know, we've got to get America back to work. That's what we've got to do here. Too many lazy people across the fruited plain. This story from the state of Connecticut.

The state of Connecticut is about to crack down on your social media platforms. The New York Times reporting that the Democrat-controlled state is going to hire a misinformation expert.

So if you feel comfortable spying on your family and your friends and your neighbors, then you might want to throw in an application or at least update your LinkedIn resume. $150,000 a year, that's how much you're going to get paid to snitch there in the state of Connecticut. Specifically, they want someone who will flag and censor what they consider misinformation ahead of the midterm elections. Colorado and also California are putting together similar plans to crack down on free speech in advance of the midterm elections. What's the old phrase?

Snitches get stitches? Is that, you know, maybe they have a good benefits package. Big lawsuit brewing. And it involves the Air Force. Nine airmen are suing the Air Force because they were denied religious exemptions for the China virus vaccine.

So again, the China virus vaccine here at the center of this lawsuit. I want to go to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line, a good friend of this program, from First Liberty Institute, the nation's top religious liberty law firm. Kelly Shackelford joins us. Kelly, hope you're doing good today. doing great Todd how about you Kelly doing well uh going through this lawsuit uh this is a fascinating story um about members of the military who were denied a religious exemption tell us what happened here well this is just crazy what's going on in our military I think most people don't don't realize we're in the process of having literally over 10,000 people who have given everything for our country and their families, having their whole lives thrown upside down just because of some sort of purge from Washington, D.C., of people of faith and people with conscience.

This one involves a number of individuals, including people like their fire pilots, chief of training in our Air Force squadrons. And so these are like, yeah, let's get rid of the people who are really talented right now with all that's going on in the world. Why? because they asked for what was their right under federal law. When you have something that violates your faith, as somebody in the military, you have a right under federal law to ask for a religious accommodation, which they've done, and they're being punished for asking, having pay docked, being threatened, being told that they will be kicked out, maybe not with any sort of honorable discharge.

And these are people who have given everything for us. And Todd, you might know our other lawsuit we've already filed earlier on behalf of the Navy SEALs, which we've not only won so far, but we won a class certification where we're now protecting everybody in the Navy because we uncovered so many violations by the Navy. And we're now going to do the same thing with the Air Force.

So we've got to protect as many people in the military as we can from this really political purge that's going on that really will only harm our military. And Kelly, I remember, and there was so much going on in the in the days of the pandemic where chaplains were actually being told to coax, I guess, military members into not applying for or asking for a religious exemption. And you actually had some chaplains that were told to say, no, this does not violate your religious beliefs. Yeah, it really is incredible what's been going on. I mean, take this, take the Air Force, where You know, they've granted thousands of accommodations for administrative reasons or for medical reasons.

But when you ask with the religious conscience issue, they don't grant them. And in fact, they punish you for asking. This is just clear discrimination under the law. And again, our effort, our hope, and I would encourage your listeners, if they're not following these, They can go to firstliberty.org and get behind these people in our military because we've got to win these. I think you know General Jerry Boykin, who's really a great hero, head of Delta Force and the Green Beret.

He thinks these cases are crucial to whether we have a military in the future because this is really hurting morale, what's happening and how people feel like after all they've given thousands and thousands of thousands. Everybody's watching this. We've got to win these cases for the sake of generations of people who have told their kids and their grandkids to go into the military, because many people are saying don't do it right now because of the kind of really political abuse that they're undergoing.

So it's important we win these cases. The good news is so far we have. We've won federal injunctions at the district court and court of appeals, and now we filed this one in the Air Force, and we plan to win there too, but we need every American behind this effort that we can get. You know, Kelly, it was described at the time, and I've heard this description used several times in the national coverage, that there was somewhat of a purge underway of specific kinds of people, and especially, I guess, targeted towards Christians. Is that how you might describe this?

Yeah, I mean, if you'll remember right, when the new Secretary of Defense came in, he said that the number one problem was extremism within the military. That was the number one problem for our military, was that our own troops were extremists. And so they actually created a task force, and this task force was filled with the most really extreme left-wing people you've ever heard of in your life. And there was one person who wasn't, and that was Mike Berry, who works for First Liberty and is probably the most experienced military lawyer in the country. And he kept saying, please tell me what extremism is.

If not, you're going to go after people because they're conservative or Christian or whatever. This is a major constitutional crisis. Because he kept asking for them to define it, they eventually kicked him off the task force.

So this is what's been going on from the very beginning. And boy, what a great opportunity when you have these people who have religious objections to something. When you can wipe out maybe 10,000 of these families, that is a purge of the military. And it's a bad purge that would do great damage, not only to those people and what they've given for our country. Take the Navy SEALs.

We had over 350 years with those 35 Navy SEALs of combat service. not only to them, but what it does to the future of the military and the confidence of those in that people above them will have their back. We've got to win and restore really our confidence of those who are really serving us in the military. Kelly, I'm listening to you and just hearing the intolerance from the military, and the great irony is just a few moments ago the Marine Corps posted a Twitter message. We have it up on our website, promoting tolerance and diversity in the name of Gay Pride Month, so much so they have an image of a combat helmet adorned with rainbow-colored bullets.

So they're going out of their way to embrace that movement while turning a blind eye and, quite frankly, trying to punish and kick out Air Force members and other military personnel for simply wanting a religious accommodation. it's you know i tell you todd the thing that ties it together is if you ask the commanders of all these people we represent the navy seals these airmen these fighter pilots etc they would tell you they do not want anything done to these people this is all coming from washington dc and the pentagon this is the political people and they're the ones pushing this quote diversity they're using the military as some sort of toy instead of what it's meant for which is to fight and protect our country and really stand for America around the world.

So we have got to win these cases. We've got to protect all these people below and not let the political people ahead really hurt our military in a way that could be permanent. But, again, I want to encourage people. The good news is the judge where before he's already said there is no COVID exception to the United States Constitution. He has ruled very strongly in favor of those in the military so far.

We've won so far on behalf of everybody in the Navy. They all protected right now but now we got to win and protect those who are serving us in the Air Force as well Well done sir Great work and you got a great team there Kelly FirstLiberty folks if you want to go and check out the great work they doing at First Liberty find out how you can support them. This is a great nonprofit, and they can use all the help you can send their way. Kelly, appreciate the great word today. Thank you, Todd.

Thanks for all you're doing and getting the word out around the country. All right. Kelly Shackelford, First Liberty Institute. and again the headline, nine airmen are suing the Air Force First Liberty, representing all of them. And the reason they're suing is because they were denied religious exemptions over the China virus vaccine.

We also know that nearly 3,000 other airmen are still fighting for religious rights in the military. And it is interesting, right? I mean, they embrace the rainbow flag. I mean, this is all about tolerance and diversity.

Well, why would you not tolerate these Christian airmen who are simply asking for a religious exemption? All right, we're going to take a break. Going right to the phones, 844-747-8868, toll-free telephone number. That's 844-747-8868. We'll be right back.

Ever since I got the new Galaxy Z Flip 4, I've been learning all these new tricks with my dog, Finn. like how to take the best selfies at the park i just set my phone down put it in flex mode and capture hands-free pics from multiple angles or how to capture our training sessions for his followers i simply wave my hand to start recording video good boy plus the z flip 4 is compact and fits perfectly in my pocket oh wow click the banner to get your galaxy z flip 4 it's a hurricane it's right now it's kind of sunny things are doing fine you know everyone thinks there's the fed can handle this that hurricane is right out there down the road coming our way we just don't know if it's a minor one or super storm sandy or yeah sandy or or uh Andrew or something like that. And you better brace yourself. Yes, indeed. Got to get ready, folks.

Got to prepare for what Biden is about to bring down on this country. All right, let's get to the phones. As promised, 844-747-8868. Jerry in Georgia. Jerry, what's on your mind?

Hello there, Todd. Todd, I forgot what the question was, whether it was were blacks worse off since the civil war or the civil rights era yes what say you i say back in the civil war they were enslaved by white democrats but they had honorable tenets and they valued religion family and culture and that's how that they survived for the following hundred years once they were free they still had those honorable tenants. They valued religion, family, and culture. But then in the civil rights area, when they went to the welfare state, that's when they started falling back. And now the major cities, if you look at them, they're all run by black Democrats, and they're in the welfare state.

And the religion and family and culture aspect of their tenants seems to be waning if you just take for the fact that the children born out of wedlock the number of born oh i think we lost jerry there um sorry about that i do not know what happened um look um first of all uh slavery is evil and wrong i don't care who you are it's just evil and nobody's better off in slave times, period. End of story.

Now, the question is, where are people today in this country? And the reality is that many Americans are actually enslaved to the federal government. And if it was up to Joe Biden, all of us would be black, white, Hispanic, Asian. They want all of us workers working for the government. And that's the problem.

You know, we talk a lot about the Blexit movement where people are leaving the Democrat plantation. That's the concept here. That's the theory. But I think the point he was trying to make, and again, I don't know what happened with the phone there, but I think the point he was trying to make is that in today's society, you have a segment of the population that has turned its back on faith and family, and now we're dealing with the after effects. Let me tell you something.

This has already happened in the white community. By and large, most white people don't go to church. I would be willing, percentage-wise, I would be willing to say that minorities attend church at a larger level than the average white person does in America. But you look at what's happening right now in the Southern Baptist Convention, which is the nation's largest Protestant denomination, but even more importantly, it is conservative. What do I mean by conservative?

Am I talking about politics? No, I'm not talking about politically conservative. I'm talking about conservative in values. That's what I'm referring to here. And now, unfortunately, you've got a generation of young pastors in their 30s and their 40s, and you've got a bunch of wannabe cool pastors in their 50s, and they are literally sacrificing all of the efforts made in the Southern Baptist Convention to adhere to a strong, conservative platform.

They're just throwing it all away. They want to be woke. As a matter of fact, there are some Southern Baptist pastors and leaders who are now advocating for gun control. They're saying you really can't be a good Christian or a Christian in good standing if you don't support some sort of controls on gun ownership. All right, where's that in the Bible?

As a matter of fact, these same individuals are literally playing politics. They're beyond guilty of doing this. But by and large, you just have a bunch of woke pastors in the Southern Baptist Convention that have neutralized the nation's largest conservative Protestant denomination. It's been neutralized. And what's happened as a result of that?

You've got more chaos in the culture. That's the way it goes. And I don't even know if the Southern Baptist Convention can be repaired. I mean, I think it's in the throes of death. I truly believe that, and it troubles me to have to say that.

But honestly, you're better off, I have seen godless, heathen politicians behave more compassionately towards people than I have seen some of these Southern Baptist leaders. It's evil. You go on Twitter and look at how some of these Southern Baptists are treating each other. It's horrifying. If I was lost as a goose, there's no way, no way I would ever grace the doors of a Southern Baptist church if that's how they behave.

But now you've got these, and these are the same Southern Baptist leaders who were anti-Trump. They were never Trump. And they went out there and they made national names for themselves by attacking Donald Trump. And then when Donald Trump fired back, well, all of a sudden they became victims. I mean, these are basically woke pajama boy snowflake preachers.

That's who they are. Effeminate all. and it's very unfortunate, but I'm afraid they have destroyed the Southern Baptist Convention. You say, well, Todd, what does that mean? How does all this tie?

Well, what I'm trying to say is when you have a demographic of people, whether they be black or white or Hispanic, and they have been predominantly a force for good in the culture, and then they turn away from their value system, all hell breaks loose, and that's what's happening in the culture right now. and I know the Southern Baptists are going to be meeting in a couple of weeks in California. I hope they can get it together, but I don't think they're going to be able to. And sooner or later, mark my words here, the same Southern Baptists who are never Trump and who refuse to defend religious liberty and who are rather squishy on the issue of life now will be the same people that embrace, and do not be surprised if they fly the rainbow flag one of these days. Not going to happen this year, but you just wait.

It's a slippery slope. When you start sacrificing your belief systems, it's a slippery slope. And soon, the Southern Baptists will go the way of the Methodists. Maybe sooner rather than later. 844-747-8868.

That's our toll-free telephone number. You Baptists know what I'm talking about here. 844-747-8868 this is the Todd Starnes Radio Show we'll be right back Ever since I got the new Galaxy Z Flip 4 I've been learning all these new tricks with my dog Finn like how to take the best selfies at the park I just set my phone down put it in flex mode and capture hands-free pics from multiple angles or how to capture our training sessions for his followers I simply wave my hand to start recording video. Good boy! Plus, the Z Flip 4 is compact and fits perfectly in my pocket.

Oh, wow. Click the banner to get your Galaxy Z Flip 4. All right. Speaking of Baptist, or really, I guess she's an ex-Baptist, Have you guys heard of this woman named Beth Moore? She's one of the lady Bible study teachers.

And man, she was one of the original Never Trumpers. And I remember, maybe it's just me, but for some reason I remember back in the day, all of the Christian women in America were just like Beth Moore was the bomb. She was like Chick-fil-A. Everybody wanted to be around Beth Moore. and now she has gone full-blown woke so anyway beth moore attacking all of you conservative christians out there uh this is on todd stearns.com beth moore posting a series of messages on twitter directed at conservative christians and by the way this is in conjunction with an associated press story that says the greatest threat to america where is that hold on yes oh There we go.

The greatest threat to America is the rise of white Christian nationalism. And one of the things they had great fears over was an image inside the U.S. House of Representatives with the phrase, in God we trust, emblazoned above the American flag. An Associated Press article on the influence of Christian nationalism on the midterm elections has confirmed the fears of many voices on the left who are calling for action, lest the nation perish. MSDNC host Joy Reid said via Twitter she was glad to see the mainstream media beginning to make it plain rather than trying to sugarcoat this, because Christian nationalism poses a very real threat to American national security and social cohesion.

freelance writer david bates tweets they talking about christians white christians will go after every office and seat from the white house to school boards city councils even library boards you know what freelance writer david bates you're darn tootin right we are every single office that's how you fix what's broken with america and i hate to break it to these people but the fact of the matter is that we are one nation under God. We were meant to be a Christian nation. That's hard for a lot of these leftists, and it's hard for a lot of Republicans to understand. But that's the problem with the country right now. It's a religious, it's a moral problem.

Anyway, Mrs. Moore, is that how she prefers to go? I mean, or is it Miss? Ms. Moore, Ms.

Moore, Miserys Moore, Beth Moore, Bible study teacher, says, let me tell you how this works. All you have to do to thwart change in conservative Christian ranks is to frame it as a progressive takeover. Then she mocked conservative believers. The liberals are coming. The liberals are coming.

Woke alert. When our fear of liberalism exceeds our fear of the Lord, our God is power, she concluded. more added i don't think some of us who love god would have liked jesus you know people like this woman this is what gets me about her you know she's takes things out of context and the reality here is that most american people and especially christians they love god and they love their country there's nothing wrong with that there's nothing wrong with the idea that we are one nation under God, that we were created to be one nation under God. I mean, we have a lot of white Christians that listen to this program. Do you guys feel as if you're sinning against God by loving America?

Mrs. Moore says some, she says, here's some context, some framing a sexual abuse investigation process as a progressive takeover when protecting the sheep from predators is liberalism. The world's gone to hell in a handbasket. Look, here's my whole take on this, the hashtag Me Too movement. It's despicable.

It's despicable. And those people who are accused should face whatever charges and whatever penalties if they're proven guilty. The problem I got is you have a lot of people out there just making accusations, whether or not there is substantial proof, whether or not charges have or have not been filed. and it seems to me that justice covers everybody the victim and the accused and the reality now is you've got people going out there and they're making whatever kind of charges against whatever kind of people and they may or might may not be true but it doesn't really matter anymore it's just like when you go out and you disagree with somebody what is it the left does they call you a racist well it's hard to get that stink washed off of you when someone calls you a racist, and it's not true, it's hard to wash that stink away because it's always there. But Mrs.

Moore and many of her leftists in the evangelical world believe that you are guilty until proven innocent, and then you are still guilty even if you are innocent. That's the belief system. I just have a problem with that. What say you, America? 844-747-8868.

That's our toll-free telephone number. That's 844-747-8868. But, man, what happened to her? I mean, Grace, I remember back in the day everybody was loving Beth Moore. Oh, my mom went to multiple conferences with her headlining.

She was very popular, especially among, like, you know, the middle-aged women. They loved Beth Moore. And now. Not so much. No, I think people are literally burning her Bible study material.

Well, you used to see her stuff everywhere when you went to church, especially in the South. Like, oh, women's Bible study, we're using Beth Moore's book.

Now I haven't seen her book anywhere at all. And again, I think she made a terrific mistake because she basically rebuked all of her followers. Yeah, I mean, she really alienated a lot of people. And now this is the price to pay, and it's not coming back. But there's a cobble that's her and the Washington Post and some children of former Baptist leaders.

And they're basically bringing down – they want to destroy the Southern Baptist Convention. That's what they want to do. It seems pretty vindictive at this point. It's pretty ugly. I mean, I wouldn't touch that with a 10-foot pole.

Somebody asked me, oh, would you mind endorse it? I'm like, no. I'm staying away. Out of this. Out of that.

Absolutely. And it's pathetic. I don't care if you're conservative or Republican, you ought not to be playing politics in the church house.

So what's it? Are you a big, have you been following the Star Wars story? Yeah, I have been. This is bizarre. It is a little bizarre.

So help me out here.

So there's a new franchise. I deleted my, I canceled my Disney account.

Okay.

So what's going on here? There's a show called Obi-Wan, which is just a show about Obi-Wan Kenobi. And if you've seen any of the Star Wars movies, you know who we're talking about. and it's you know it's doing pretty well people like the show but there's this new character too much i haven't watched the show yet but i understand she's kind of the villain in the show and there's a woman that is african-american playing the villain and a lot of people don't yes and a lot of people don't like her character okay i haven't watched the show yet so i don't I don't have a comment on that. But it came out that people were attacking the actress, some criticizing her in the role, but she was getting a lot of death threats and racist comments.

So now Disney and Star Wars has come out defending her. That's basically the gist.

So we have some audio from Ewan McGregor, who is one of the leads in the series. Let's take a listen to what he has to say. This weekend, Star Wars fans made Obi-Wan Kenobi the most watched Disney Plus original series premiere of all time. And for that, I would say a big thank you. And it just goes to show what this family can do when we all pool together.

However, it seems that some of the fan base from this influential fan base have decided to attack Moses Ingram online and send her the most horrendous racist DMs. and I heard some of them this morning and it just broke my heart. Moses is a brilliant actor. She's a brilliant woman and she's absolutely amazing in this series. She brings so much to the series.

She brings so much to the franchise and it just sickened me to my stomach to hear that this had been happening. I just want to say as the leading actor in the series, as the executive producer in the series, that we stand with Moses. We love Moses. and if you're sending her bullying messages, you're no Star Wars fan in my mind. There's no place for racism in this world.

And I totally stand with Moses.

Well, good for you. Why weren't you standing with Gina Carano? What about that? Where was Star Wars? Where was the Star Wars leadership?

Where was Disney when Gina Carano was being given the heave-ho? Where were the people defending her? because she's a conservative and her opinions don't count. Is that the gist of it, Grace Baker? Is because I just don't get all of it.

Exactly. I mean, I don't have an issue at all with Disney coming out and defending the actress because she was, I saw some of the messages and they were horrible. Alleged. Because you don't know who really wrote those. That's fair.

Could have been bots. How many times have we seen the fake racist attacks? That's true. That's true. But again, we put side by side those messages in the same similar situation with Gina Carano, where she was getting death threats.

They didn't defend her. Oh, they straight up cast her aside, canceled her action figure, everything. Just, bye. All right. You see, again, I canceled my Disney subscription.

Double standard. Exactly. All right. Hey, let's go to the phones here. 844-747-8868.

Becky, North Carolina, WHKP, our great affiliate there. Becky, what do you want to tell us about Beth Moore? I'm shocked. I'm down here in Hendersonville, but I was in Rhode Island. I took both of her seminars.

I still have her book. I cannot believe this, how she turned, how she went. I mean, gosh, 380 degrees to the wall. This is unbelievable. Where did you get this material?

Where can I read more about it? Yeah, I would follow her on Twitter. If you follow her on Twitter, Beth Moore, you will see all of it. And, Becky, it's shocking. And this goes all the way back to the Trump 2016 presidential election.

Oh, Lord. Oh, yeah. She is virally anti-Trump. oh my gosh because i think i was reading her books or at her seminar she had she had uh two book series that she was teaching and i think that was back in the 80s maybe the mid-80s and early 90s i i i'm just shocked i cannot believe what turned her i mean what what has happened to our nation. I mean, this woman was totally, oh my Lord, God-driven.

I think, Becky, what has happened is that, again, Trump was cleaning out the deep state swamp. I think he also cleaned out the evangelical swamp. And we got to see people for who they truly are, for what they really believe. And I think it shocked a lot of people. I know a lot of people are very shocked by Beth more and the leftward turn that she's taken.

Oh, my Lord, yes. I mean, she was in many of the churches in the Northeast, many of them, not just the Baptist churches. She toted that around for years. Oh, yes. Thank you for listening to me, and thank you for informing me.
